Koibito Yo (Oh Lover) Lyrics:

Kareha chiru yuu'ngure wa
Kuruhi no samusa o mono'ngatari
Ame ni kowareta benchi ni wa
Ai o sasayaku uta mo nai

koibito yo sabani ite
Ko'ngoeru watashi no soba ni ite yo
Soshite hitokoto
Kono wakare banashi wa
Joodan dayo to
Waratte hoshii

Jarimichi o kakeashi de
Marason bito nga yukisu'ngiru
Marude bookyaku nozomuyoo ni
Tomaru watashi o sasotte iru

Koibito yo sayoonara
Kisetsu wa me'ngutte kuru kedo
Ano hi no hutari yoi no na'ngareboshi
Hikatte wa kieru mujoo no yume yo

Koibito yo sobani ite
Ko'ngoeru watashi no soba ni ite yo
Soshite hitokoto
Kono wakare banashi nga
Joodan dayo to
Waratte hoshii
